This first-floor, two-bedroom flat in Forest Hill is a practical starter home or buy-to-let with clear scope to add value. Set within a well-maintained red-brick development, the apartment measures approximately 59 sq m (636 sq ft) and provides a sensible layout: generous reception room, two bedrooms, separate kitchen and family bathroom. The property benefits from good natural light and a pleasant outlook over communal grounds.
Residents have access to uncommon on-site amenities for the area, including communal gardens, off-street parking and an indoor swimming pool. Transport links are strong — Forest Hill and Sydenham stations are within walking distance, offering regular Overground and Southern services into Central London. Local schools (several rated Good) and green spaces such as Mayow Park and Horniman Gardens are close by.
The flat is offered as a leasehold and currently needs renovation to modernise finishes and services. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity; buyers should note this may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The building has double glazing (install date unknown) and is a late-1990s/early-2000s construction. Council tax and specific lease details are not provided and should be checked.
This property will suit first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-personalise home or investors seeking a lettable flat in a well-connected, desirable south-east London neighbourhood. The combination of communal amenities and refurbishment potential makes it a straightforward project for readers who value location and upside more than a turnkey finish.
